WHAT is R.E.A.D.Y?

The purpose of the R.E.A.D.Y program is to create
an awareness system for West County EMS & Fire
Firefighter/Paramedics. This system will enable us
to have necessary medical information in order to
better assist and treat our residents.

Our Goal

The primary goal of the R.E.A.D.Y program is to
enable quick access to pertinent information
when emergency strikes.

How does R.E.A.D.Y Program Work?

Each family or household will be given a folder
containing easy to complete medical information
forms. The forms can be completed with the help
of a West County district representative or on your
own. Once the forms are complete, the folder will
be placed in an easy to locate designated location
designated by you.

A West County Firefighter/Paramedic will be able
to locate this folder by going to the refrigerator
and finding the magnetic locator board containing
the location of the R.E.A.D.Y folder.

As part of this program, we encourage a lock
box placed outside the residence that will allow
West County EMS & Fire quick entry if an
emergency arises and you are unable to open the
door and let our crew in. We have lock box's
available for $30 by check or one can be
purchased at any store. We are more than happy to
assist with installation.

Who can benefit from the R.E.A.D.Y Program?

EVERYONE within the West County EMS & Fire
district. We encourage all families to take part in
this program in order to provide all residents with
the best care possible.
